The Hairpin of the Red Chamber

Baoyu just scalded a few blisters on his hands, which frightened the attackers a lot. They surrounded Baoyu and asked the beginning and the end. Baoyu said a few words, and then said: "Old lady If you don't ask, don't say it. If you ask, just say that I accidentally burned it myself."

Qingwen has already inquired about the details from the front, and she came over and said, "It's okay to treat us with such a temper, why do you treat them so kindly! Today is pouring lamp oil, and tomorrow I'm afraid even our house will be burnt down." Already!"

Xiren tugged at her sleeve and said, "Just say a few words less."

Qingwen snorted coldly, seeing that Baoyu was surrounded by people, she was inconvenient to rush forward, because she went inside, took out some patent medicines for cooling and reducing fire, and threw them to Baoyu.

Baoyu said, "I just applied medicine at my wife's place."

Xiren laughed and said, "This is a patented medicine. Take a pill and you will recover faster." He opened it and gave Baoyu a pill.

Although Baoyu is always kind and doesn't care about Jia Huan, he is unhappy because he thinks about the relationship between brothers and sisters, so he goes in and lies down by himself.

The girls saw that he was uncomfortable, so they scattered and ignored him.

Unexpectedly, Mother Li came in after drinking outside, and saw only a few little girls playing Jiulianhuan in the yard. She only thought that Baoyu was still with Mrs. Wang, and pointed at them and scolded: "It's better for you all if I'm not here." Get lazy! The girls don't care."

Just to say a word, Qingwen slammed the curtain and came out. Just as she was about to speak, someone from behind called "Musk Moon" through the door. She Yue hurriedly stood up and tugged at her sleeve. Rubbing the sleeves, he said: "You guys tore the sleeves to pieces. When the time comes, there will be no clothes to wear, so I'll wear yours!" With a cold snort, he ordered the little girl to fetch water.

Sheyue said to Nanny Li: "Second Master just took the medicine, and he was lying down to sleep. Mom was yelling outside and disturbed Second Master. Mom knows our young master's temper. It's time to get kicked out, but you can't blame us."

Li's mother didn't expect Baoyu and several big girls to be there, so she couldn't bear it, so she chased her and asked, "Why do you want to take medicine again? You don't let me get close. If you serve well, that's fine." , who has been serving for three days and who is sick and taking medicine, you have the nerve to say me!"

Qingwen had already come back from the other side, and said with a sneer, "Mom shouldn't ask us that, but ask the people in front to see how they serve, and make our father burn like that!" She threw the curtain again and went in. Mother Li could only hear the attackers vaguely saying "don't let me speak" and other words, and heard Qingwen say "third master" and "madam" there. She was suspicious and walked to Mrs. Wang's yard by herself. As soon as Li inquired and asked about the cause and effect, he immediately burst into Baihui with anger. Relying on his old face, he went to Jia Mu the next day to reciprocate in this way.

Mother Jia was wondering why Baoyu couldn't come to pay her respects after school for several days in a row. When she learned about this, she was so angry that breakfast was useless, and she only ordered "call that beast!"The people didn't dare to be negligent, so they hurriedly went out to inform Jia Zheng. Jia Zheng had just left the office when he heard his mother summoning him urgently. He didn't know what was going on. : "You have raised a good son!"

When Jia Zheng heard this, he was full of wonder, and said with a smile, "But did Baoyu make his mother angry? I saw that he was busy studying recently, thinking about his children's home, so he couldn't push him too much, so he was a little more relaxed in discipline. I will immediately ask him to kowtow to his mother to make amends."

Jia Mu said angrily, "Don't you know your own sons? How can such a well-behaved child as Baoyu make me angry!"

After Jia Zheng heard this, he became more and more puzzled. He thought to himself that Jia Huan was besides Baoyu. It's just that Jia Huan never came to Jia Mu, so how could Jia Huan be so angry?Yin only accompanied Xiaoxin and said: "What the mother said made the son confused, what did Huan'er do to make the mother so angry?"

Mother Jia sneered and said, "What is he doing? He wants to kill me!" Yin ordered Mother Li to say, "Say it!"

Seeing that Baoyu's nurse was involved again, Jia Zheng stopped and asked, "What's the matter?"

Nanny Li put things into context. After all, Jia Zheng had been in the officialdom for a long time. Seeing Li*'s exaggerated words, he already had a bit of disbelief, and felt that Jia Huan was too young to intentionally scald his brother. However, my mother was so angry that she didn't have an explanation, and she couldn't justify it, so she just smiled and comforted her for a while, and when she went out, she ordered Jia Huan to come, reprimanded him for not studying well, disrespecting his elder brother, and ordered his family to beat him twenty boards.

There was still rumors about Jia Huan outside, but inside, Sister Feng already knew the news, so she sent Ping'er to pass on a message. Then he laid down his deadly hand and covered it for twenty times, beating Jia Huan to the brink of death. Aunt Zhao didn't know she was inside, but when she came out from Mrs. Wang's place happily, she saw her son's face pale and weak, lying on the bed with no knowledge of personnel. , three steps forward, two steps forward, crying and cursing to ask why, biting his fingers and tongue in hatred, swearing to the sky, not daring to scold Jia Mu and Jia Zheng, so he could not stop cursing Sister Feng and Baoyu in his heart , Even Baochai took it with her, I only hated her for reminding Baoyu, as if Baoyu didn't call out, Baoyu was already blind at this moment, and the mansion crown belt had been passed on to her son.

It was also a coincidence that on that day Baoyu's godmother, Ma Daopo, came to the mansion to pay her respects. She wanted to ask Jia Mu to buy more lamp oil for Baoyu. He will also talk about the imperial order of Jintian Hou.

Baochai and Daiyu were sitting with Jia's mother. When they heard that the princess of Nan'an County "has a lot of promises, she has a big wish. One day is 48 catties of oil and one catty of light grass", and they looked at each other. Baochai's hand, Baochai nodded, and suddenly said in his ear: "I remember that mother also gave up lamp oil for the two of us. Now you are in good health, and you can't say that you are alive. You should ask mother to add a few catties some other day. "

Daiyu said: "How dare you believe these crooked words!"

Baochai said: "I am the one who should believe these words the most."

Daiyu murmured, "You are a person who knows how to waste money all day long."

Baochai smiled and said, "How can it be a waste to spend money for you? I just hate that I don't spend enough." Seeing that Daiyu was about to speak, she immediately said, "Except for buying books."

Daiyu slapped her hand angrily, saying that she was dizzy and wanted to go back, got up and left by herself, Baochai also followed her, and laughed after her: "Speaking of which, I remember this time in the previous life." , Sister Feng and Baoyu suffered a lot of wind evil, and later they were cured with psychic gems, so it can be seen that there are gods and ghosts in this world, it is really hard to say."

Daiyu saw that her words became more and more miraculous, she also became suspicious in her heart, stopped and said: "Is it expensive to give up lamp oil? If it is not expensive, I will add some for you."

Baochai said: "Just call that Ma Daopo to ask later. I guess it won't cost much, but if you order too much, it's not good to attract people's attention."

Daiyu said: "When I see that woman, I feel uncomfortable. You can go and ask—in fact, it's okay to send a maid."

Baochai said: "After all, it is an old man. Even the old lady has seen it in person. We should observe some etiquette."

Daiyu said: "Up to you." As she said, she yawned seriously, and she had already walked back into the house, and the two Zijuan and Yinger helped her and the two changed clothes, and Daiyu lay down inside to rest for lunch. Baochai leaned outside to read a book, and the two did not disturb each other.

Because Jia Mu had gone to take a nap, Ma Daopo came out by herself, and was about to go to all the courtyards and rooms to say hello, when a little girl called her and said, "Grandma Ma, our girl wants to entrust you to the king of medicine." Last confession."

Ma Daopo recognized her as the maid in Sister Feng's yard, stopped and said, "I went to Lian's second grandma and came out when she was not there. I didn't expect grandma to find me?"

The little girl said: "It's not our grandma, it was Sister Ping'er who ordered to light a lamp for our grandma, saying that grandma is not in good health these days and her phlegm is foul, and asked me to ask you which bodhisattva should be worshipped. "

Ma Daopo said: "If you are not in good health, you only need to make a lot of offerings to the Medicine King Bodhisattva—why did Miss Ping think of making offerings for your grandma?"

The little girl said: "I don't know either. By the way, Sister Ping'er said, don't tell Second Mistress about this matter. She is not in good health these days and is just annoying."

Ma Daopo heard that this was a way of not asking for credit, she couldn't understand more, she just smiled and said: "I understand, how much should I pay?"

The little girl unwrapped a sachet from her body, Ma Daopo took it and weighed it, fearing that there might be a dozen or two, she couldn't help thinking to herself: It is said that Miss Ping was the first person who was considerate and useful to Second Grandma Lian, but now it seems , really loyal.Because he took out some big money from his body, he handed it to the little girl and said, "Please go this far, and you can use this money to buy candy." While walking around in all directions with the money in his pocket, Mrs. Wang took Baoyu's place. Abandoning the money, Aunt Ma donated her wish silver, an attacker from Baoyu's house came to offer five hundred yuan, Yinger came to add a catty of lamp oil for Daiyu, and Zijuan came to add a catty of lamp oil for Baochai. Lamp oil, such a big Jia's mansion, all kinds of strange things, opened the eyes of an old Jianghu like her.

Finally, I saw Aunt Zhao sent someone to look for her, saying that she wanted to offer sacrifices to the King of Medicine. She and Aunt Zhao could talk on a daily basis, so she simply went all the way. When she entered the room, she saw Jia Huan lying on the bed, and Aunt Zhao sitting on one side. Wiping away tears, he said immediately, "Brother, what's wrong?"

Aunt Zhao said: "It's not that one!"

Ma Daopo said, "Is it Baoyu?"

Aunt Zhao shook her head, but stretched out her hand to make a two-character gesture. Ma Daopo understood, and said, "Second Grandma Lian?"

Aunt Zhao walked to the door, lifted the curtain and looked out, Ma Daopo smiled and said, "No one, don't worry."

Aunt Zhao gritted her teeth and said, "I wish she could die immediately!"

When Ma Daopo heard about it, she smiled and said for a while, "It's not that I look down on you, I'm afraid you're just talking about it, and if you really want to do it, I'm afraid you won't dare."

Aunt Zhao had nowhere to vent her deep hatred, and said angrily: "I just don't have the skills, if I really have the skills, why would I dare! I'm only satisfied when they are dead!"

Ma Daopo challenged her, "You really mean what you say?"

Aunt Zhao heard that there was some truth in what she said, so she looked up at her and said, "If I take it seriously, can you still do it for me?"
